Raw biological data must be converted into a numeric format that neural networks can process. DNA/RNA Sequences : Often prepared using one-hot encoding k-mer incidence Chemical Structures : Typically converted into SMILES strings
In the past, biology was a "wet lab" science—researchers spent years at benches with pipettes and Petri dishes. Today, while the wet lab remains vital, the sheer volume of data generated by modern experiments is so vast that no human brain could process it alone. This is where bioinformatics steps in, turning raw data into life-saving insights. Why Bioinformatics Matters Bioinformatics
Your mission: extract meaning from the deluge of DNA, RNA, and protein data. Raw biological data must be converted into a
